# 1 The Einstein equivalence principle of special relativity of 1907 is maximally powerful.
# 2 For it entails Einstein’s 3 most revolutionary findings as is well known: gravitational redshift, gravitational curvature, manifest gravitational slowdown of light.
# 3 The third point (the Einstein slowdown of light) arises from the fact that a light ray that progresses horizontally downstairs does so in a slanted fashion relative to an observer at the tip. This "Einstein slant" got overlooked so far.
# 4 It follows from the new slant that all distances downstairs are invisibly to above enlarged by, and all objects downstairs are mass- and charge-reduced by, the gravitational redshift factor.
# 5 To give an example: All objects on an ideal neutron star (with unit redshift, that is, a factor of 2 slowdown of time) are invisibly to above doubled in size and halved in rest mass and charge.
# 6 It follows from # 4 that the speed of light c in the vacuum c is globally conserved in the equivalence principle -- just as formally presupposed because the equivalence principle is exclusively based on special relativity with its global c. Strangely, the global c constraint got overlooked by the scientific community ever since 1907.
# 7A new general relativity implicit in c-global waits to be written down to better judge the safety of a current experiment.
